Still looking for some place to kill hogs.

[Poboy gunner]

I can pay, just don't want to get crazy about it. In the DFW area, willing to travel a few hours. Responsible, seasoned Hunter, just looking to not waste extra money to kill vermin.

With temperatures on the rise your about to late!

 

[Poboy gunner]

Why is that?

Why is that?

Tics & fleas on them get worse. If you after meat spoilage goes up in the warmer temps, that is unless you have a refrigerated processing room.

 

[Poboy gunner]

OK, that kind of stuff I can deal with.

The hog hunters around here cut up the hog and ice it down with salt in large coolers for up to 10 days. They hang the hog from a tripod and use a reciprocating saw to cut it lengthwise. It's a huge hassle, but the meat is really outstanding! I've eaten a lot of it and can't say that I've had any better!

Kinda what I had in mind, except smaller pieces. But it starts with hanging, gutting, and then "processing" the meat.

Hogs are easier to clean on the ground or table than hanging. Unlike deer, i don't care about the rib meat and sausage cuts. They're so nasty I recommend quartering without opening the body cavity. Slide down the backbone and up from the knees and lay the skin aside. Once the hams and loins are off, go in carefully just under the short ribs and retrieve the tenderloins.

You don't "bleed out" wild hogs? Just trying to learn and find some place to hunt.

I'm a rookie with hogs, but not a rookie hunter.

"I can pay, just don't want to get crazy about it."

Not many super low cost commercial places to hunt hogs in Texas. So, unless you have a friend with land and a plague of hogs...... you're going to have to pay or deep six the idea.

There a place in Seguin called Nighthogs.com (no, not close to Dallas, but if you're serious they're excellent)

Have a gander at their website.

The "Last Chances" night club and dance hall behind the motel at the interstate exit is a good hunting ground for both porkers and heifers, especially once it's past 1am.

Speaking from experience?

 

[Kar98]

Obviously.

Kinda true. I live in the country. Hunted more than I care to and done with it. Like MM says, you have to have friends with land. I have a bud that we sit on his front porch overlooking a couple hundred acres down into a bottom and shoot all we want.

Move to the country???

Post pics or vids of hog cleaning. Wouldn’t mind some tips.

ZX9,

No, from others who recommended them.

However, given I've had my own land devastated by these critters, I had no need to seek out Nighthogs.

I spent my money on fencing to keep them out, thought to be sure, at one time, I shot them from by back porch.

Would I have folks I don't know shoot on my land?

Not in a million years....

All midnight rendezvous...no pics no vids...sorry

Good point. Pretty sure that PoBoyGunner is talking about killing with a high powered rifle. Shoot from the porch of my buds house like you said.

When I went out in the field after them it was with this knife (not the HiPoint)

Obviously.

Poor lighting and over "bait" as well I presume....

Not sure why you are addressing me, I was asking kar98.

Error on my part, sorry......
